Bronze Birthday Wishes



My family is very fortunate that our neighborhood is draining well during tropical storm Harvey.  Many parts of our city is flooded and local shelters are full.  The storm is expected to move away from us this evening but flooding may continue.  It's been a very stressful few days and hard to focus on things,  I needed the stress relief of card making and managed to make a card inspired by Stampafaire (all stamps and dies used for this card are from Papertrey Ink).

 Jessica Frost-Ballas made a gorgeous card for Stampafaire, her video is full of tips and techniques.  For my card I blended four different embossing powders to make a bronze.  For the background I swiped my Versamark ink pad over a embossing plate (from Papertrey Ink), pressed the card stock onto the plate, sprinkled embossing powder onto the card stock and melted it.  For the sentiment I diecut the sentiment and smooshed my Versamark ink pad on it then embossed it.
Thank you for stopping by.
